"Phantom" marketplace updates

Is anyone else constantly seeing their marketplace tile update to '1', only to go in and find there's no update? It's happening round the clock, since Mango update. Sometimes it'll say '2' and there'll be one real update and another phantom update.

Really annoying. Is there a problem on the phone, on the marketplace, or is an app I have not behaving properly?

Not for me only have key ring acrobible NIV and Weather Channel and ezch one of them has been updated in the last week not all on the same day so only got 1 update three different times> It does sound bizarre but maybe there was an nodo update and an mango update and it showed both but only one when you went to update.

Having the same problem. I looked into it today when I noticed that ...I'm a WP7! updated and I hadn't received my update, yet my Marketplace tile said 1. Going into the Marketplace, there was no update even though the tile said so. I searched for the app and the "Update" button appeared at the bottom. When I clicked it, however, the Downloads page appeared but nothing started to download. It keeps doing this no matter how many times I try.

The number went up to 5. At the same time, I knew there was an update for Mehdoh which I hadn't yet received. After over a day of not receiving it and the tile updating to 5 twice, I figured that the number reflected real updates for apps that for some reason weren't coming through.

Solution: I rebooted the phone. When it started again the marketplace tile wasn't showing any updates, but when I opened it up there were the five updates that had thus far been missing. They're downloading right now.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't know if this had anything to do with it, but when I rebooted my phone the first time I put it in my pocket, and when I took it out of my pocket i had obviously accidentally pushed some buttons when it was in there, because it was on emergency calls only - I must have skipped the SIM pin entry. This is when I saw the 5 missing updates. Of course I couldn't download them with no network connection, so I then rebooted the phone again and made sure I entered the pin, and then went ahead and downloaded the updates. So if this doesn't work for you initially, my suggestion would be to drop the network connection by skipping the sim pin entry, or taking it out. If you then see the updates you should be able to restore connection and download away.

Yeah same here, I seeing this '1' popping about few days back, I have no idea what update is it, I have updated every single app using multitasking switching of screen (that's how I got it update manually, someone tell me if there is another way)

I'm having quite an opposite problem; my phone won't update apps at all. I sometimes can update apps manually, but usually it will only give me the option to share. Has anyone had this problem?

Had this. But usually I just assume they need time before rolling out to all users, just like how Microsoft updated Hotmail.
Or it takes time for the phone to update its own catalog to realize there are updates.
